Hey Ed,

Sorry, I wasn't trying to tell you what you should do. Just that I was
in the same boat somewhat and found that switching was a better solution.

Maybe you could create a DLL using Delphi and one of the available
component sets to do some the tasks you want to do and call it from your
VB application? That is how I started getting familiar with Delphi.

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.
